Ready To Dive In

Long nights. Short mornings. Sunny days. It could all only mean one thing.. summer has finally arrived! Although my summer already started 2 weeks ago or something like that, it only finally started to kick in this past week. Maybe it was due to the extreme hot weather or the chilled days at the beach or even the plenty of time I have just to breathe and kick back. No worries, no stress, no drama.. well maybe just a little bit, but all in all, summer has this sense of happiness and joy to it that I certainly want to soak in. Summer is instant sun, joy, bliss, freedom, andsimpilicity that's filled with long walks on the beach, bbq's, long nights on msn, ice cream, sunglasses, and re-connecting with old friends.
So here's a glimpse to my summer list of things to do (I usually don't like to write lists because there's pressure and expectations of what to come and I'd rather just go with the flow and live in the moment, but lists can push you to do the things you actually want to do)

summer '08:

• hit the beach
• have a picnic
• play at the park
• watch the fireworks
• work to save money
• go on a trip
• have a sleepover
• go camping
• mini-golf/driving range
• shopping downtown
• watch the canon go off at Stanley Park
  
• go to the nightmarket
• Pista sa Nayon
  
• Bumbershoot
• go ice skating
  
• paint/decorate/clean/organize my room
• make a summer cd
• read a book
  

So that's about it. I had about 2 weeks already and I've completed some of the things on the list.. but 2 months left -- I'm sure I'll be able to do it! Wish me luck!

[side note] July marks the half-way point of the year, 2008 is half-way done and I must say although its had its ups and downs.. it's been quite fun! Hopefully an even better half will come! =D
